Next stop was another favorite of mine, Occasion Station (157 S. Washington St., Sonora, CA, 209-533-2400) owned by Casie Schornick. Occasion Station has both used designer clothes and vintage clothes, hats, jewelry and purses. Casey told me that they are opening up the back of the store for costumes. So the next time I visit, I'm hoping to see gorgeous costumes and will share them with you. A few doors down from Occasion Station is the Antique Den (163 S. Washington St., Sonora, CA, 209-533-1012), which is mostly an antique store, but also has costumes in the back. These costumes include some very antique clothes, including a woman's bathing costume from the early 1900's and some tea-dance-type dresses. They also have a great collection of mannequin heads and wigs. Our final stop on Friday was a visit to Trade Winds (63 S. Washington St., Sonora, CA, 209-588-8810, www.tradewindsconsignment.com) another upscale consignment store worth visiting if you come up here on vacation. It is managed by Debbie Sholer who showed me a great selection of dresses and evening bags from the 1950's.
On Saturday, Fran and my sister, Marcee, took me to an estate sale on Phoenix Lake Road, which is outside of Sonora. We tried to get there early, but there was already a crowd. The clothes here were nothing to scream about, so we headed to Jamestown, which is close to Sonora and has a lot of antique stores. I visited Time Travelers (18138 Main St., Jamestown, CA, 209-984-6551) and Jamestown Mercantile (18255 Main St., 209-984-5148). We found some interesting vintage clothes in these stores, which I am also sharing. Enjoy!
